Ask HN: Is decentralized password/private key recovery possible?
2 by faizshah | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I was thinking a lot about the decentralized web and reading about projects like solid, fission, and radicle etc. I was wondering if there is an implementation of a decentralized password recovery mechanism of some kind? Or maybe more generally a private key recovery mechanism? We read a lot about people forgetting or losing their private wallet keys for bitcoin and we know commonly people forget their passwords. If the vision of the decentralized web is for users to own their own data surely we will need some implementation of something like this.
